It's so true! <br />I think it's like Coke vs. Pepsi you are either a FB person <br />or a Twitter person. <br />Me, I prefer twitter (& email for connecting with people I know). I<br /> feel the same way as you do about<br /> Facebook! As others said, you can<br /> link your twitter to Facebook! Or<br /> you can hashtag #fb and that will <br />make that individual tweet appear <br />on FB (once you've given the app <br />permission). When I write, <br />however, I turn off all social <br />media. For months at a time. <br />#amwriting :)<br /><br />PS I just learned via your FB that<br /> you're from MN. My grandmother <br />taught in St. Peter! She was from <br />St. James. :)@adeerLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912470121643566089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-74717121787295900492015-03-10T16:35:40.072-04:002015-03-10T16:35:40.072-04:00If you don't want to "defriend" thos...If you don't want to "defriend" those people you don't know, you can always unfollow them. Facebook offers that as a feature, and I've found it useful for friends with particularly obnoxious Facebook habits--people whose feelings I don't want to hurt, but whose posts I don't want to see. It makes Facebook more manageable. :)Stephanie Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169145912195690598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-62431508149551293552015-03-10T12:23:11.961-04:002015-03-10T12:23:11.961-04:00I second the Facebook page option.

Plus, the page is public and you don't have to accept friend requests because it's more of a business platform than a personal bubble.<br />An added tip, if you want to keep Facebook but don't like adding to it: you can link your Facebook and Twitter accounts so that when you tweet your updates, they pop up on your Facebook. Then you can just pop into Facebook whenever you're able to see what kind of comments have been left.<br />I think we're all at that point where social media is too expansive and overwhelming haha!Tanya M.

Follow is checked. Click Follow to unfollow. Now future posts by that person won't display in your newsfeed.<br /><br />Repeat until only the people you want to see are displaying in your newsfeed.<br /><br />Do you use a browser other than IE? If so, you can further customize FB by installing FB Purity. You won't see ads, and you can set up your sidebars to display what you want (and only what you want). Best of all, you can add words and phrases that you don't want to see in posts. My FB is much more pleasant since I cut out all the political posts!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-22925771289569859852015-03-10T10:51:27.105-04:002015-03-10T10:51:27.105-04:00You can accept friends on Facebook but not follow ...You can accept friends on Facebook but not follow them, so all the stuff they post will not show up on your feed. That is how I limit what I see on my feed.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716050821497393546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-82392227023260474622015-03-10T09:23:43.821-04:002015-03-10T09:23:43.821-04:00I know it's not ideal but I'd recommend yo...I know it's not ideal but I'd recommend you treat your personal page as a personal page and only accept people you know. Then you can create a "business" page and accept likes from all comers. And then it's easier if someone gets butthurt to say, "Oh, sorry, that's my personal page, but you can always contact me through my business page." In fact, you have to physically reject people you don't want liking your business page.Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.com
